1988 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series - this car was purchased new by my grandfather late in 1987. He owned the car and babied it until he passed away in January 2007. Shortly after, I took possession of the car. It has been garage kept since new except for the last few months. The car has 63,732 actual miles. It has the 302 (5.0L) engine with overdrive transmission. It was well optioned with power seats, windows, door locks, cruise control, A/C, auto-dim headlights and premium stereo. The body on the car is very nice with all original paint except he had one scratch repaired on one of the quarter panels when the car was fairly new. The paint still shines like new. There are a few minor nicks and scratches. The leather top is still like new. The chrome is still nice with the exception of the rear bumper. There are a few blisters on the rear bumper (see pictures). The interior is still like new except for the front arm rests on the right and left door panels where there are splits in the leather (see pictures). The seats and carpet are nearly perfect. The trunk is like new. The undercarriage is still very nice, no rust of any significance. The engine compartment is original and has never been cleaned. The car engine runs good and the transmission shifts fine. It could use a set of plugs and wires (I believe they are still original). The car rides and drives like when it was new. I put new front brakes and calipers on it about 6 years ago, but the right front grabs after it has sat for a while, so it will need looked at. The air conditioning works well when charged, but it has a leak. I usually have it charged late spring and by fall it has leaked off. The only other issue I have had with the car is sometimes when driving at night, the amp light will flicker, but I never had a problem with losing battery power. There is also an extra set of wire wheel covers. I am hesitant to sell the car, but I am finding that I don't have the time to take the best care of it and would like to see someone buy it who could. The car is still very nice and looks like new from 15 feet, but it does have some flaws which I have described. The car is being sold as is. The buyer is responsible for transport. The car will not leave my possession until all funds are cleared. Good luck.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
